A lot of people are now feeling "old" symptoms in their 20s and 30s fatigue, brain fog, slower recovery, decades before their parents ever did. What's actually happening inside your cells before you can even feel it? By the time you notice it, your mitochondria have already been quietly losing power for years. In this episode, I sit down with neuroscientist Dr. Siobhan (PhD in Neuroscience, 25 years researching mitochondria) to break down why aging is really happening at the cellular level, and what you can do about it starting today. Why symptoms that used to show up in your 50s, 60s, and 70s are now showing up in your 20s and 30s What's really happening when your mitochondria "stop working as well" — and why that hits your brain and muscles first The real reason you can't train, eat, or bounce back the way you did in your 20s Why mitochondria act like the "CEO" of your cells — controlling everything from energy production to your immune response The surprising truth about mitochondrial DNA: you only inherit it from your mother, and a single egg can carry over 700,000 mitochondria How oxidative stress from your mitochondria drives nearly every hallmark of aging — DNA damage, inflammation, and more The hidden link between dopamine hits (social media, processed food) and accelerated brain aging Why motivation naturally fades as you age — and how it traces directly back to mitochondrial energy production The top 3–5 habits silently destroying your mitochondria (and the ones that protect them) Get Ben's new book Keto Flex here → https://bit.ly/4wKG1sM Remember this: Your mitochondria don't just power your cells — they decide how long, and how well, you actually live.
